AustinHigh shot volume against Earthquakes
Vazquez generated five shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus San Jose Earthquakes.
Analysis: For only the second time this season, Vasquez logged at least five shots in a single setting. Unfortunately for the forward, among his nine shots (seven on target) this season, he still has zero goals scored.
Records assists
Vazquez assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Seattle Sounders FC.
Analysis: Vazquez picked up his first assist of the season in the 2-1 win over Austin. Since returning from injury, he's made eight MLS appearances with three starts, contributing that lone assist along with four chances created and six tackles.
Six shots in loss
Vazquez recorded six shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Vazquez was plenty active throughout Saturday's match, but he couldn't get on the scoresheet despite putting three shots on goal. The striker also created a chance, but all of the volume wasn't enough to beat Jonathan Bond. Vazquez will hope to bounce back and get back on the score sheet for a Saturday trip to Colorado.
Fit again
Vazquez (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against St. Louis.
Analysis: Vazquez is finally back in action after a torn ACL last season, with the forward an option for the first time since June of last year. It will likely take him some time to get back to match fitness, so a few bench spots in a row could be feasible. However, he is a key forward for the club, with five goals in 19 appearances before his injury last season.
